Yeah, we're not banning fat women from our nightclub. They just need to weigh under 120 pounds to get in. A cheeseburger alone is 300 calories.
^...children’s meals – if they are promoted using toys – must contain no more than 600 calories...and have less than 650 milligrams of salt. Other requirements: Less than 10 percent of the fat in, say, a Happy Meal, can come from saturated fats, and the meals must include at least half a cup of fruit or three-quarters of a cup of vegetables.^
And I suppose soon it will need to be served in a compostable container, printed with soy ink, and have the name of the product written in twenty languages.
The POINT is the totalitarianism, not the fiddly details of how the government is controlling a private business at the microscopic level, of how much slack they choose to cut. They could change the barrier to 500 calories tomorrow at a whim, or decide that all meals have to include Ma Chalmer's soybeans.
